Shallalat Gardens, Public park in Alexandria, Egypt.
The landscaped gardens extend across 8 acres of terrain with three lakes, water channels, hills, and diverse vegetation throughout the grounds.
The gardens, designed by American Frederick Law Olmsted in the early 20th century, preserve sections of Alexandria's ancient city walls and underground water cisterns.
Local families gather in the gardens for social activities, making it a central meeting point for Alexandria's residents throughout all seasons.
Located in the Bab Sharq district, this free-access park remains open daily and offers multiple pathways, seating areas, and water features for visitors.
The underground cistern within the park contains rare architectural elements, including original columns and capitals from different historical periods.
